Dental implants are an ideal solution for most people that have lost one or more teeth. Once the procedure is over, the replacement tooth; which is actually a crown sitting on the actual implant, looks and feels no different than the natural tooth it replaces.
There are numerous benefits associated with dental implants, the most common include:
Appearance:
When a person loses a tooth the jaw bone begins to shrink where the tooth root once was. The face will begin to sag in the area, the person will look older. Dental implants stop the degradation of the jaw bone, sagging is greatly reduced and the implants look, feel and function like natural teeth.
Comfort:
Even the best fitting dentures are not really comfortable; there are spots that can be quite painful and certainly uncomfortable. Dentures, by design, rest on the gums. As the gums and bone continue to shrink the denture begins to become loose and rocks on the bone. Dental implants in West Loop do not sit on the gums; they are permanently anchored into the jawbone; as a result, there is no movement which means there is no gum irritation.
Speech:
Speech is regulated by your palate and tongue. When dentures become loose, the palate begins to move around. There is always an attempt made to hold the denture in place with facial muscles but in most cases, the individual will slur speech and there will be a definite clicking noise from the loose denture. As dental implants are stable, you can continue to speak with confidence.
Self-esteem:
When you know your dentures are not going to slip you can talk, eat and socialize as you once did. You will regain lost confidence; you will be able to enjoy life to its fullest.
